What is an Edible Cornucopia?
An edible cornucopia is a charming, edible version of the traditional cornucopia, also known as the “horn of plenty.” Traditionally woven and used for decoration, our version is made from dough, waffle cones, or puff pastry and filled with an array of goodies that will make your taste buds dance. You can make these in various sizes—small ones to place at each seating area or a large, eye-catching centerpiece for the table.
How to Make Cornucopia Charcuterie Board
Ingredients you’ll need for cornucopia
Ingredients you’ll need for the board
Step by Step Guide
1. Unroll 2-3 meters of foil and shape it into a cone with a diameter of about 3.5 inches and a length of 9.8 inches. Bend the end to form a tip.
2. Roll out the puff pastry into a 1/4-inch layer and cut it into strips. Wrap these strips around the foil cone, starting from the narrow end and working towards the wider part. Overlap the strips and seal the joints with egg white. Brush the whole cone with a beaten egg and bake at 356°F until golden brown. Let it cool on a rack, then carefully remove the foil. If you have extra dough, shape it into puff pastry leaves for an added touch.
3. Prepare the filling. Cut the cheeses into cubes and roll up the soft cheese slices.
4. Separate the grapes into small bunches, keeping their branches. Slice the apple and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Cut the plums, peach, and figs into slices.
5. Assemble the board. Fill the cornucopia with a mix of cookies, fruit, and other goodies.
6. Place the filled horn on a serving board and arrange the salami, cheeses, and grapes around it.
7. Scatter the remaining ingredients so they appear to be spilling out of the cornucopia.
And there you have it! A large edible cornucopia filled with fresh produce and appetizers makes a show-stopping centerpiece for your holiday table. It’s not just beautiful—it’s symbolic of the season’s spirit, celebrating generosity, gratitude, and abundance. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any fall event, this delightful dish is sure to impress your guests and make your gathering memorable.
So, get creative and have fun with your cornucopia! It’s an easy way to bring a touch of festive magic to your holiday table while treating your guests to a feast of flavors. Enjoy!
